I honestly believe the Democrats are acting as if they know they won’t ever lose again. Lying, cheating, looking foolish, etc-—either they know they will stay in power or whatever they pass now will never be undone. Either way, they’re acting as if they’re protected for life!
I agree. They are not acting like they think they will lose a seat. They do not care. I hope that both I and they are wrong.
“Either way, they’re acting as if they’re protected for life!”
I think the opposite. They had two great opportunities in recent decades to send this country into a death spiral, and BLEW IT. The 1992 election and the 2008 election. In both cases, they spent their time on small-time crap and still let the Republicans hamstring them with the filibuster (in fact, nuking it was so off the table back then it wasn’t even brought up). And by the time they realized that the country would survive their first two years of each new administration, it was too late, they had BLOWN THEIR CHANCE at destroying it.
This time they DO NOT intend to blow it. Even with their really thin margins, they are doing fine at the White House, and there’s still a good chance that they’ll lock-in the demise of this country before the 2022 election...where they still will have a tough time rigging the House seats (i.e., most of the House districts where they count the votes are already blue).
This is their chance for their ‘Final Solution’ to America, and they are going to give it all they can.
You're exactly right.
